A grandfather pleaded guilty this week to kidnapping a popular chicken named "Betty White" and then feeding her to a "hungry alligator" at a wildlife park in Australia.
Peter Smith, 58, was charged with aggravated animal cruelty against the bird -- a member of the distinctive Silkie Bantam breed -- following the incident which took place earlier this year. He initially denied responsibility for the act, which carries a maximum sentence of two years in prison, plus a fine of nearly $25,000 Australian dollars.
